Granted, I was responsible for a big chunk of my teams product line up at my former employers, and I had little to do with other sections, but we were all capable of picking up the others portions (as demonstrated by the fact I handed over that huge chunk of work - 7 years worth - to another member of the team when I left). People are not irreplaceable, the people who think they are make themselves more replaceable.

I'm talking about the framework/engine as a whole... just like lots of other open source projects out there.

So with all that in mind, sounds like an excuse not to give me a good candidate for an engine I could use as a newbie. But, as I'm feeling generous, if you can't meet that criteria, lets discount it and instead go for a 75% requirements fit.

Any takers?
